Pro Bono Neighbourhood Law Clinic

What is the Pro Bono Clinic?

The Basic concept of this clinic is to provide a professional setting for lawyers to give from 2-4 hours of their time, free each month to those who cannot obtain a lawyer elsewhere.

What We Provide:

• Free legal advice from a qualified lawyer
• Follow up session if necessary
• Assistance in preparing legal documents
• Our lawyers do not go into court but can prepare you do so
• We take the fear and mystery out of the legal process

Come to the Pro Bono Law Clinic if:

• You need help with legal matters
• You have any questions requiring legal expertise
• You have any special needs, such as language, seniors, First Nations Peoples, that would be assisted by particular lawyers
• You need wills, representation agreements, or other legal documents

How to Qualify:

There is a screening process. To qualify you cannot be eligible for legal aid as it would be better to obtain full-time representation from a full-time government paid lawyer. You must complete a questionnaire, which includes providing your monthly income and total assets.

Appointments

Once you have been screened an appointment will be made for you. As the lawyer\’s time is limited you are encouraged to keep your appointment time. It is important to provide advance notice to cancel or reschedule.
